[[Brewer Corporation]] announced the Colonia Bridge project and launched the first of its three planned phases on October 7, 3307. This phase involved collecting resources for the construction of up to 30 new Flight Operations Carrier [[megaship]]s that would be stationed at 400-500 light-year intervals between the [[Colonia Region]] and the [[Core Systems]]. In addition to providing travelers with a wider selection of rest stops, the vessels would also be stocked with [[Tritium]] for the benefit of [[Drake-Class Carrier|Fleet Carriers]]. Resource collection for the phase was hosted by [[Jaques Station]] in [[Colonia]], and Macdonald Settlement in Alcor. Brewer Corporation assumed responsibility for producing up to 25 megaships, and it partnered with the [[Colonia Council]] to subsidise the final five | [[Brewer Corporation]] announced the Colonia Bridge project and launched the first of its three planned phases on October 7, 3307.

To bolster participation, Brewer Corporation pledged to offer [[discounts]] on Fleet Carriers and Fleet Carrier outfitting options in proportion with the amount of resources received by the initiative. In addition, the top ten participants in both Colonia and Alcor would be given the opportunity to submit potential names for the megaships.<ref name="Colonia Bridge" /> | To bolster participation, Brewer Corporation pledged to offer [[discounts]] on Fleet Carriers and Fleet Carrier outfitting options in proportion with the amount of resources received by the initiative.

*<nowiki>*</nowiki>Pilots Federation ALERT*<br/>Twin initiatives in the Alcor and [[Colonia]] systems have procured materials to construct new dockable [[megaship]]s. [[Brewer Corporation]] made an announcement regarding its Colonia Bridge project: "A positive response has led to generous shipments of [[Ceramic Composites|ceramic composites]], [[Computer Components|computer components]] and [[Thermal Cooling Units|thermal cooling units]] being received. As a result, Brewer Corporation can now commence work on enhancing the transportation infrastructure between the [[Core Systems|core systems]] and the [[Colonia Region|Colonia region]]. Thanks to the dedication of the galactic community, 30 dockable megaships will be placed along the Colonia Bridge route by the 28th of October. These will serve as stationary ports, providing vital facilities for travellers. Planning is already underway for the second phase of this project, placing further megaships every four to five hundred light years working out from the Alcor and Colonia systems. Payment for contributing pilots is now available at Macdonald Settlement in the Alcor system and [[Jaques Station]] in the Colonia system. Both starports also offer a temporary [[Discounts|discount]] on purchasing and outfitting to owners of our [[Drake-Class Carrier|Drake-class Carriers]]." Brewer Corporation will soon be reaching out to the top ten pilots from both the Alcor and Colonia initiatives, to provide naming suggestions for the dockable megaships being placed on the route to Colonia. Submissions will be subject to review by the Brewer Corporation board of directors.<ref name="Bridge Deliveries" /> | |||

*<nowiki>*</nowiki>Pilots Federation ALERT*<br/>Delivery campaigns in the Alcor and [[Colonia]] systems aim to improve journeys to the distant colonies. The Colonia Bridge project is being funded by [[Brewer Corporation]], which outlined the details in a press release: "The [[Colonia Region|Colonia region]] has great potential for businesses and travellers, but the long voyage can be prohibitive. Brewer Corporation is investing in the transportation infrastructure between the [[Core Systems|core systems]] and Colonia, to make crossing those thousands of light years easier. Up to 30 dockable [[megaship]]s will be placed along [[Colonia Connection Highway|the route to Colonia]], providing travellers with valuable respite and resources including [[tritium]]. These stationary megaships should be operational by the 28th of October, and will mark the completion of the first phase of the three-phase Colonia Bridge project. Its aim is to place dockable megaships every four to five hundred light years working out from the Alcor and Colonia systems. To achieve this, we require large quantities of [[Ceramic Composites|ceramic composites]], [[Computer Components|computer components]] and [[Thermal Cooling Units|thermal cooling units]]. These can be delivered to either Macdonald Settlement in the Alcor system or [[Jaques Station]] in the Colonia system." The [[Colonia Council]] is subsidising part of the initiative, due to the importance of this enterprise. As a consequence, the commodity requirements for the megaships at Jaques Station are reduced. Brewer Corporation has confirmed that as well as offering payment for the materials, it will ask the top ten contributors at Alcor and Colonia to submit potential names for the new megaships. Submissions will be subject to review by the Brewer Corporation board of directors. As an added incentive, there will be temporary [[discounts]] on purchasing and outfitting [[Drake-Class Carrier|fleet carriers]] at both Macdonald Settlement and Jacques Station, based on pilots' contributions.<ref name="Colonia Bridge" /> | *<nowiki>*</nowiki>Pilots Federation ALERT*<br/>Delivery campaigns in the Alcor and [[Colonia]] systems aim to improve journeys to the distant colonies.
